Sweden Warns Nationals to Leave Iran Over Security Concerns
In a message posted on X, she underscored the seriousness of the situation and reiterated the government’s travel warning. "The situation in Iran and in the region is highly uncertain. I therefore wish to emphasize the importance of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' advisory against all travel to Iran, and the urgent appeal to Swedish citizens who are in the country to leave," Stenergard wrote on US social media platform X.
She pointed out that commercial flights and border crossings remain operational, giving citizens a window of opportunity to exit the country. According to her statement, those who remain in Iran must recognize the potential consequences of their decision.
"A significant personal responsibility rests with those individuals who choose to remain in Iran. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs will not be able to assist with evacuation from Iran," Stenergard added.
The advisory followed remarks by US President Donald Trump, who said on Friday that he was "considering" a limited military strike aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran to reach an agreement. He did not provide specifics, but the statement came as the United States continues to bolster its military footprint in the broader region.
